[LINK IN BIO] Truly one of the best spectacles that come to New York is coming back this September 🎈⁠
⁠
Over 70 hot air balloons are taking over upstate NY's skies this fall for a completely free 4-day festival. 🎈⛅️⁠
⁠
The 53rd annual Adirondack Balloon Festival returns to Queensbury and the Lake George area, filling the horizon with dozens of vibrant colors. The multi-day extravaganza is one of the largest and oldest hot air ballooning events in the entire country—and incredibly, it has remained 100% volunteer-run and completely free to the public for over five decades.⁠
⁠
📅 Festival Dates: September 17–20, 2026.⁠
⁠
✨ Expect breathtaking simultaneous launches of 70 to 80+ balloons during peak sunrise and sunset hours, plus an evening Balloon Moonglow where anchored balloons illuminate the night sky.⁠
⁠
🎟️ The event is free for all attendees, with an expansive open-air craft market, live music, and food stalls that strictly benefit local non-profits.⁠
